Non-invasive
Fat Reduction & Body Contouring

  • No surgery
  • No incisions
  • No injections
  • No downtime
  • No maintenance treatments


What is the UltraShape ™ Procedure?

The UltraShape procedure is a safe, non-invasive treatment that:

  • Reduces unwanted fat deposits;
  • Reduces body circumference;
  • Improves body shape

The UltraShape™ procedure uses the first scientifically and clinically proven non-invasive focused ultrasound technology to breakdown unwanted fat

It is not a treatment for:

  • Weight loss
  • Obesity
  • Skin laxity
  • Cellulite

How does UltraShape™ work?

  • Focused ultrasound energy is applied to the outer skin to target and selectively break down fat cells in the underlying fat layers
  • Surrounding structures such as blood vessels, nerves and connective tissues are unharmed

 What Happens To The Fat?

  • The UltraShape technology targets and breaks down fat cells
  • Once the fat cells are broken down the fat is safely cleared from the local area and processed by the body’s natural physiological and metabolic pathways
  • Clinical studies and tens of thousands of patient treatments have shown no untoward effects from this natural fat clearance process

 Am I a candidate for UltraShape™?

The ideal candidate:

  • Reasonable expectations
  • Normal to moderately overweight BMI (<29)
  • Localized fat deposits
  • At least 1.5 cm of fat thickness
  • Willingness to comply with a healthy diet and exercise

Who is not a candidate for UltraShape™?

Patients with the following:

  • Unrealistic expectations
  • BMI > 30
  • Less than 1.5 cm of subcutaneous fat in the treatment area
  • High degree of skin laxity - UltraShape is not a skin tightening treatment thus excess skin laxity may not contract
  • Non-compliant lifestyle - Patients not willing to maintain a healthy diet and exercise

What body areas can be treated?

  • Abdomen
  • Outer thighs (“saddle bags”)
  • Flanks (“love handles”)

What can I expect during treatment?

  • The UltraShape™ procedure is performed during a convenient, “walk-in, walk-out” session carried out in an office-based environment  
  • The procedure requires no anesthesia or sedation
  • As a handheld device delivering pulsating focused ultrasound energy gently glides over the marked treatment area most patients report slight tingling, warmth or no sensation
  • Vast majority of patients report a comfortable treatment experience
  • The entire procedure is guided by a computerized real-time tracking and guidance system designed to deliver smooth, uniform body contouring results
  • This system ensures complete and uniform energy delivery over the entire treatment area, thus minimizing the risk of contour irregularities, a potential side effect of liposuction

What can I expect after the treatment?

  • After treatment, patients immediately resume their daily routines 
  • Patients should avoid weight gain to maximize results
  • Healthy diet and exercise are strongly recommended

When can I expect to see results?

  • A published clinical study showed that most circumference and fat thickness reduction is seen within the first 14 - 21 days after treatment
  • 3 treatments at 30 day intervals are recommended for most patients to see optimal results
  • Based on current clinical experience maximum results are seen about 30-90 days post final treatment

How many treatments will I need?

  • Clinical studies have shown measurable durable circumference reduction after a single treatment in most patients
  • Three treatments are recommended to achieve maximum results in most patients

 Is the UltraShape™ procedure safe?

  • The UltraShape procedure has an excellent safety record
  • Tens of thousands of patient treatments have been safely performed worldwide
  • We will strive to answer any of your questions or concerns at the time of consultation
